    Re: Cooper wheels on my Aspire

    Nitro, those should be a lot lighter.

        Yeah, white rims would look good.

          I'd go so far as to add a white pinstriping to the sides of the car, with either Aspire or Ford written in a break 6" from the rear of the strip.

              If you did the super wide stripes (each 14" wide, separated by an inch and a half) that start on the hood and end at the rear bumper, that could be hot. The 4" stripes down the full length of the car could greatly disrupt the lines of the car and make your wheels actually look worse. This is only my opinion, however.

                Well I've still been looking,bought a set of BMW bottle caps in the mean time. The look cool but too heavy if you ask me (Good for my wifes ATX Aspire). But check out these bad boys,going to look at them Sunday. Hope they fit under the wheel well ! :blob7:

                  Plastidip black to cover rash ? If the wheel laying there had it , it really isn't that bad.

                  This example is green with plastidipped wheels

                    Nice wheels. But 6.5" wide might be iffy. I think you will need spacers on the rear. What is the tire size? Looks like a 50 series, so might be short enough to clear the strut, if you are using Aspire struts or coilovers.

                    Recommend you take the car you will be putting them on and actually try them on.

                        You were correct Tom,I need to do the coil over in the rear. They were 35 offset so I need @ 1" of clearance to get them to work. But man they looked sweet he came way down on the price. If he has them after I mod the rear I'll snag em.
